    Our youngest has become a DOC ranger, worked at Fiordland with Takahe, Anchor Island with Kakapo, the Hauraki Gulf islands with allsorts. Now with Akld Council, doing the same stuff.
    I’m not sure he would have found that calling, without the hunting experience.

    D’oh, yes I didn’t think the bush comment through.
    Sitting high on a hillside (you northern mob would call them mountains....) with a brew in hand as the sun comes up, watching a mob below, no phone, no cars, no people, no stress - is a place where you can breathe, slow right down and just be alive. Those that understand, get it, those that do not, it is not possible to explain it to.

    Exactly
    Time spent down your way, Eyre Mountains, Taki’s, Fiordland, are some of the best memories I have.
    Interesting calibre, by the way

    I've never been hunting, but I have been bush walking / tramping. I've never felt that not carrying the means to kill something has reduced the experience in any way.
    it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.

    Agreed, and I’m not suggesting otherwise, or certainly never meant to give that impression
    Apologies if you took it that way.
    Hunting was just reason I used to go bush
    95% of my best hunting trips, I never fired my rifle
    Didn’t mean they weren’t special, but you can’t find those moments unless you’re out there, for whatever reason drives you

    Conversely when you have been used to carrying a rifle it does feel odd being in the bush without one. The feeling does pass though. A big hill will do that.

    Nor does any law changes look eminent to prevent hunting or prevent having a rifle for hunting.
    The law changes only prevented people having rifles that were not needed for hunting at all....

    AR Style rifles were extremely popular for Hunting, for the exact same reason that Army Surplus SMLEs were popular for hunting.

    And as for preventing hunting:

    Carried a 7.62 SLR in the army. That was enough.

    Typical urban cluelessness right there. Just like the city living greenies telling us how we should farm. Just clueless.

    Carried one for nearly a decade as my primary hunting rifle. Now I'm old and cunning and my .243 is my primary. And I keep four families with full freezers with it.

    Yeah i can see why you would say that seeing as i am a famer living in a rural area and all.
    perhaps you should regale us all how you so desperately needed the banned firearm's to farm or to hunt or you could just talk more crap, the result is the same.

    A milestone of sorts. My licence was expiring and the Police were already on my arse for lacking the required number of range attendances. I did have medical leave but their record keeping isn't *that* great. Anyhoo I decided it was all too much bother and have sold all my guns. For the first time in a long time I don't own a firearm.

    Ah well, that's that then. Better go for a ride...

    Range attendances for a Pistol Licence ?

    A few years ago a friends pet peeve was that he has to have the required range attendances each year to retain his pistol licence and that was more than the general police were required to do at the time

    Yeah. The new Firearms Authority is having teething troubles. They are maintaining that attendances at ranges other than your home range don't count. So attendances at National or Island championships or whatever wouldn't count. Just new broom stuff but they are happily fucking everybody around while they learn.

    Received a call from them advising me my licence was expiring, so I explained in detail what I was doing. A week or so later I got another call telling me my licence was expiring so I told him about the previous call. It was recorded, he just hadn't checked. On the day my licence expired I handed it in at the local cop shop. Couple of days later I got a call from the Firearms authority asking where my licence was.

    It can all be somebody else's problem now.
